The goddess is facing left, the face in profile and seen from behind in three-quarters.
The helmet is decorated with animals and the anthropomorphic visor. The back covered with long wavy hair and a cloak. The goddess wears an armor with her shoulder protected by a lion mask.
Interesting choice of stone characterized by a dark red blood vein, perhaps to allude to its unbeatable strategic abilities for battles. Signs of wear.
